Uptight New York City executive, Michael Cromwell, pursues his soon-to-be ex-wife to South America and returns home with the son he never knew he had—a boy raised in a tribal village in Brazil. Armed with only his blowgun, the 13-year-old Mimi-Siku discovers that the world outside his jungle home is indeed a strange place.
The big city is about to get a little savage.

Reviews
Dreary family comedy involves commodities broker Allen discovering he has a son who was raised in a remote South American village, whom he brings home to Manhattan with calamitous results. Has some funny moments but is hampered by its length and too many unfunny sequences. Amazingly, this is a remake of a French film called Un indien dans la ville, released in the US as Little Indian, Big City!
